Total have scheduled a press conference on Tue - details on the Caltex (Chevron) takeover. They may shed more light on the loss then.

total KENYA is a distribution arm,at least this is what (some) share holders were lead to believe and thus no record profits when oil prices were crazy high and all international oil companies were reporting dizzing profits. As a distribution arm,all they do is add service charge and profit to the oil price.

so margins shouldn't change as prices drop.

ps. this is also a low volume traded share which delivered a steady divided,however if you review it historically,it never rises with the market,its owners are in it for the divided,they dont trade much. for the small investor (the under 500K bunch) this stock is a waste of time.

Total currently has a 19-20% market share and this should rise to the maximum allowed 25% after the Chevron takeover. Assuming it currently has capacity to service the 25%,there should be no additional fixed costs therefore there should be an additional increase of 5% to the bottom line. The small shareholder has a chance to partake of this increase,and even better,a potential bonus issue for the fixed assets transferred from Chevron.
